How or where can i find body parts?
Hello all, the news is that I MAY have found a 360 GLT to restore and from what I can gather so far, the work mainly comprises of a body restoration. If I am lucky enough to get hold of this car, it is my intention to restore it to its orriginal specification and keep it as a standard 360 GLT, as I am becoming increasingly aware of how rare a car this particular model is. I hope to go and see the car soon, but I allready understand that it would probably require a new front pannel and some replacement wings. Please could you advise me as to where I may be able to get hold of the body parts that this car may need. I allways think its best to ask the people that have owned, used and cared for the type of car that I am working on, as they are the people best qualified to help in instances such as this.
Thanks for your time, Ian. |

I took a call from a Hadrian agent on Monday.
86+ wings are unavailable, but ~77-81 and 82-85 wings are. 82-85 ones simply need the indicator repeater holes filling to be suitable for a 86+ car. The front valance panel (a favourite for rotting out) is unavailable, but I am going to look into having these custom made. Anything else you need? cheers James

Thanks James, I am going to look at the car this weekend hopefully with a view to getting it brought home to Cardiff on Monday. When I have had chance to give it a good look over, I will get back to you regarding other parts.
I do know that the car is a 5-door GLT in light metalic blue. It has covered over 100,000 miles so far. It has bellonged to a chap that used to work for a volvo main agent in both Cardiff and Newport. He also owns a few more 300 series volvos. He contacted me after having read my post on this site, to offer me the car. I am still hopefully going to buy the burgandy one from Bristol as well though. The bug has bitten and bitten me harder than I realised. Ian. |

Hehe...it does that! I have 5...
I think I know exactly the car you're referring to. I've been trying to convince the owner to let me have the rear spoiler if the car was to be broken... cheers James
